Relic Weapon Revival (06/06/2012)

[Tano]

It is bad.

1) Hamlet defense is boring as hell.
2) Seal drop rate is almost as low as a primal weapon.
3) Only 1 can drop from a single Hamlet and has low drop rate. Party is made of 8 ppl.
4) IF you have a static, it means you need 9*8 seals, 72 total. It means that you have to do 72 Hamlets (for no reason, lol) if the drop is 100%, but it's not, so in average you need to do 720 Hamlets to get enough seals fot your static.
(If you don't have a static, it can take an infinite amount of time, since it's not guaranteed you're getting the seal that drops)

It's like trading +72 primal wespons for this pre-req. How long does it take to get 72 primal weapons? And, come on, doing Ifrit or Moogle is nowhere as boring as doing Hamlets.

Not to mention the 25k seals key item. Why 25k seals? Just to make you seal farm for hours.

Garuda drop system was just fine. Too bad it was glitched, so nobody is doing it anymore.

I'm ok with hard content, but that's just stupid. It's far worse then moogle-pre req, or the awful drop rates we have now

Seal drop rate is not bad its the combined total time of doing the hamlet plus wait 15 min for it to be up again that makes it seem so low.

I can't really put input yet because I have not yet seen the stats on these weapons. If the stats don't make up for the work you have to put towards it, not many will do it. I do hope adjustments are made to Hamlet, because I actually find it boring myself.

[Zdenka]

Yes as Judge Xero points out, the way its worded implies that the Sealed Promissory Note is only required 1 time to flag the quest for activation.

Also for that little debate on WHM weapons... the best stat on a WHM weapon is VIT; Regen tick+ is far more useful than +MP, +Heal Pot unless you are capped on Regen tick increase.

lol @ "AF weapons will be added in a later patch, but you can start the quest in 1.22b" it reeeeally looks like a stall tactic to keep people from grinding through the weapons too quickly. Considering what happened with Garuda weapons, I'm not surprised...

moreso i think its just confirming for people HOW to get them so they can start working on them and know thats what they are working on

Square Enix is making Hamlet easyer. Why do you think lv2 is the max?.... It's because of these seals. Level 5 will come out and increased Point Scores also. Seals will be like a 20k pt item later on and new stuff will come out that's lv5 Hamlet.

Basically how you look at it, Square Enix simpely does'nt want us obtaining the gear that fast. It's main reason why max cap is lv2 instead of 5. Also I expect AF gear to be some what shitty/good. Like tripple meld VI and like tier2 Materia and boosting 15min Ability like.. Might Strikes, Burst and so on.

Question :

Does it confirmed to be 3x of each kind of seal? (total 9) ?
Because I remember that Jp and English has different kind of text, and I didn't know in the end as which one is correct. need confirmation from person who got the trade done.

I have the soiled promissory note. You need the 25k GC Seal book + 3 Vortex Seals + 3 Tremor Seals + Inferno Seals.

Has no one here done relic weapons in XI? It's basically the same exact thing, a huge grind made easier if you had a dedicated LS whose main goal in Dynamis was relic weapons. The only difference here is the RNG is more apparent since we only need 9 seals compared to 140k currency. Naturally, the drop rate has to be worse. Considering tons of people already have their notes, FFXIV Relics take MUCH less time to obtain. And yet people still bitch.

They're not meant for everyone, get over it.
